I question why you would leave the SDA church

Question:

I understand you have reasons for leaving the SDA church. But didn't God gave the Seventh-day Adventist church this gospel relating to Revelation 14 to proclaim to all the world? I understand that you realized the SDA church reject the bible truth as well. But not all Seventh-day Adventists do. Seventh-day Adventists have the gospel to tell the world. Also the sanctuary message to why Jesus is in the MOST HOLY PLACE. If you read Matthew 13:24-30. The parable about the wheat and tares, doesn't it represent what's going on in the church? I question why you would leave the SDA church.


Answer:

God certainly gave the Seventh-day Asdventist church the gospel relating to Revelation 14 to proclaim to all the world. We recognize the sanctuary message as well. Furthermore, we realize that God still has many faithful children in the various denominations, including the several dozen that have descended from the denomination to which Ellen White belonged until 1915. And that is precisely the problem. There are several large bodies claiming to be the Seventh-day Adventist church, not to mention scores of small ones: The Seventh-day Adventist General Conference, two different Reformed Seventh-day Adventist groups, and the last we counted six Davidian Seventh-day Adventist groups. To be sure that we chose the right one, we took a look at the official beliefs of all of them, and perceived that all of them had relinquished the beliefs as published by the Seventh-day Adventist Church during the lifetime of Ellen White. In other words, they are all imposters! So we can hardly be held responsible to belong to any of them. We feel strongly that we should remain on the platform of belief that was in force up until the death of Ellen White, rather than to accept a changed list of Fundamental Beliefs. We are quite ready to join any one of the many Adventist groups that officially re-instates the original doctrines as published in the 1872 statement or the 1889 statement, which are essentially the same. We feel it would be dishonest to join any of these denominations under the false pretense of accepting their changed beliefs.
